Radical Care: The Auntie Sewing Squad
Documentary
Director's Choice • 2021
8 min
San Francisco, CA, US
This documentary short looks at the Auntie Sewing Squad, a group of mostly women of color volunteers who came together following the U.S. government"s botched response to the COVID-19 crisis. The Aunties sew masks for farmworkers, day laborers, unhoused people, refugee and immigrant groups, First Nations tribes, recently incarcerated people, Black Lives Matter demonstrators, and others in need in the U.S. Using images, voices and sounds primarily generated by the Aunties themselves, in tandem with Kronos Quartet"s performance of Susie Ibarra"s "Pulsation," the film seeks to inspire others to work toward radical care in the time of Covid-19.
